Hello

Seeing was around 9/10 with 5/5 transparency! This is one of my best image this season. This is my first 7 straight days of imaging this season!!

Note the Oval BA and the light region to it's left. Note also the dark red barge on the SSTB. The EB is very interesting. Note the white oval features on the EB/NEB border at the CM! Also note the ovals on the EB/SEB border also at the CM. There also seem to be some feature on the SPR.

Regards,

Chris

Hello Chris -

The excellent conditions show in your very detailed image. To my eye the contrast is a little too severe resulting in a loss of information in the EZ. But it is an extraordinary image and I agree - one of your best.
Thanks for sharing it!

Very beautiful image Chris 8O 8O

I do agree with Alan that the center of the image appears to be a little "burnt". I don't know if you have any software that allows you to read the ADU levels while acquiring, but, in case you do, you should try to keep the ADU level below approx. 220 ADU to ensure that you don't get that burnt core. I was advised to do so by Paolo because my images (albeit, much worse than yours) had the same burnt center. I have never had that problem again after I tried this simple trick! grin

Again compliments for the great images you keep on posting. I wish I had at least one chance of that great seeing sad

Ciao Chris
